Dear SDO Official Correspondence,
All monies paid by lotto nz to fund or award tvnz and all media outlets. Don't forget to add the charities for humanitary reasons like elderly medical equipment food banks housing and such mentioned in last reply and I want all money paid to these charities and TV and media charities so as to acknowledge if there is shortfalls that could be used elsewhere because if you look around you at nz right now you would see what's needed and that people at the bottom need to advance to the middle in quality of life yet are being held down by the enabling of poverty and that lotto nz could should and hopefully would be on board to share any charitable funding to these causes .
Yours sincerely,
Tui Aroha Williams
